Indulge your senses on this seven-night experience in seaside Polignano a Mare. Here, in Italy’s southern Apulia region, you’re sure to encounter a true Italian way of life! You’ll traverse fertile plains to endearing fishing villages, family-run farms and medieval towns that leap from fairy tales.
Discover communities set firmly in tempos of the past, from Alberobello to hilltop Locorotondo and Matera, known for its ancient sassi neighborhoods carved from limestone. Wander treasure-filled alleyways in Ostuni and linger by the colorful harbors of Trani and Bari. Stunning architecture waits around every turn, including Lecce’s Basilica of Santa Croce and Roman amphitheater.
Along the way, dig into Apulia’s heirloom recipes, sip wine at a family vineyard and engage with locals at a historic olive oil mill. This small-group journey features an exclusive lecture series, a first-class hotel and an extensive meal plan with wine at dinner. No single supplement for solo travelers.
